I think we all carry some images or ideas from our childhood that are not necessarily, but remain very strong. for some reason I've always thought of Africa in terms of fiery colours and dry heat, although I am perfectly aware that only small number of places on that vast ocntinent are like that.
this photo fits pefectly my "imaginary" Africa :) love the colours of molten gold, and the black silhouettes of the trees, the result is quite dramatic.
